[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 32100, member: 1061"] Check out my [URL="http://nikonites.com/blogs/anthony-hereld/45-definitive-guide-sd-memory-cards.html"]memory card guide[/URL]. As for your other concerns: 8G was probably top of the line for SD cards when the D60 was introduced. You might want to consider upgrading to a 16G or even a 32G, because the cost difference isn't that much these days. Your camera has an internal buffer that can fill up with data. The optimal memory card will meet or exceed your camera's write speed. Camera=write, card=read. However, it can be very difficult to locate credible information on write speeds, so don't bother looking for it. Yes, fast-action sequencing is limited by 3 things: [LIST] [*]Camera FPS [*]Camera write speed [*]Memory card read speed [/LIST] If your camera is "locking up" after 5-8 continuous shots, it's probably because your card isn't fast enough. A Class 8 or 10 will definitely show an improvement. My D300s shoots 8 FPS (I have the grip w/ upgraded batteries). I use the Kingston C10 card listed in my guide. Even shooting RAW @ max FPS, I've never had to wait on my camera's buffer. The D60 is 3 FPS if I remember right. Honestly, and this is just my personal opinion, I think a Class 10 card might be a bit of overkill. I would think a Class 8 would be plenty fast, but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
